GradSense.org
GradSense.org was created to help graduate and other students learn how to successfully manage their finances and educational costs by the Council of Graduate Schools, funded by a grant from TIAA-CREF, a leading financial services organization with a long history of serving those in the academic, research, medical and cultural fields, as part of a three-year project to enhance the financial literacy of graduate and undergraduate students. Through a competitive proposal process involving an independent selection committee, 15 institutions were selected, including Kansas State University, to participate in the project as funded research partners.
